route. Accordingly the royal party drove
by the NeYa Quay, a circu tous route
avoiding the town; meanwhile the arrests
were made on the street where the plot
tiers expected the imperial party would
sJIcken its pace. Ga Monday many OF
the 200 persons arrested were released

AN EXTENSIVE CONSPIRACY.
VIENNA, March Let has been ascer-
tanned that the recently discovered con-
spiracy Of Russian land owners and
tradesmen to overthrow the Cars gov
eminent was very extensive and included
a number of military officers, and it was
chiefly on the ground that the Car was
aveTse to embarkiDg in war.
STATE OF ANARCHY.
BERLIN, March 16-Tne Post takes q
gloomy view of the plot to assassinate
the Gar and says: "With terror and
regret we say that Europe must preps e
to see Russia adopt a policy Of despair,
taking the shape either in fatalistic resig-
nation or frantic adventures. The latter
is more probable. 1t must require an
effort on the part of the Gar to oppose
the tempest of voices calling for war as
remedy for Russian woes"
